2018-09-14 16:28:38 <africanhope> For now there is a call for volunteer mentors

2018-09-14 16:29:37 <africanhope> To put that simply, GCI is a programme for young coders

2018-09-14 16:30:07 <africanhope> But more advanced developers generally help those young coders, they help them by being mentors

2018-09-14 16:31:03 <d3r1ck> Hello everyone!

2018-09-14 16:31:15 <d3r1ck> Sorry for the late entry! Security is tight in my part of the country

2018-09-14 16:31:21 <africanhope> So for now were are searching for volunteer mentors within the Wikimedia developers community. And, As I mentioned earlier, those who will volunteer as Mentors will help young coders with their tasks during Google Code In

2018-09-14 16:31:23 <d3r1ck> But I can take it from here, thanks africanhope :)

2018-09-14 16:31:39 <africanhope> d3r1ck: Right on time

2018-09-14 16:31:40 <opentechno> d3r1ck: Hi, welcome

2018-09-14 16:31:40 <d3r1ck> Rosalie poked me that she won't be around

2018-09-14 16:31:47 <d3r1ck> africanhope, opentechno, Hey!

2018-09-14 16:31:53 <d3r1ck> Where are we on the agenda?

2018-09-14 17:08:46 <tybanash> The technical issue I have is that I tried to clone mediawiki core, did not succeed . What can I do from here?which command should I use please? https://usercontent.irccloud-cdn.com/file/4PIh4Vv1/IMG_7358.JPG

2018-09-14 17:08:50 <d3r1ck> And how they can add themselves to the contributors.json file for tracking their changes?

2018-09-14 17:14:53 <d3r1ck> Those will do the trick, but revert in case of more help :)

2018-09-14 17:16:19 <tybanash> d3r1ck: thank you
